Thetardiness shown by you and other executives in the
matter of entraining the cavalry is outrageous.

Iwarn you that the functionaries responsible for
military work in Tula are obliged to display the greatest energy
and efficiency, which I do not see in practice. Send me at
once an explanation of the reasons for the delay. I shallcall the culprits to strict account. I demand that the dispatch
be expedited to the utmost of your power.

LeninChairman, Council of Defence
